Exhausted. It's mentally and physically exhausting working with high reps. I do feel like I'm putting a little size on already, though, so it's working. If I can motivate myself to get in the gym on training days, I'm rewarded the next day with a day off, so that's a big incentive for me. I just have to succeed in getting myself there on training days!

Also, I can eat plenty of food and not put on a ton of fat.

I have been struggling to get into the gym, so I decided to whittle my program down some more to the bare necessities and hit them hard. I like this so far, we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.
